Everybodies
If we put a space between 'verbs' and 'body', it is no longer a pronoun, but a noun phrase, which means:
The survey will be used by government departments and every other public bodies.
Everybody's

'Everybody' is a universal indefinite pronoun that means 'every person'. We use a singular verb after it.

We use 'everybody' when we want to refer to 'all of the people in a group'. We write it in one word:
